A heavy, wide sans with rounded construction and a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Strokes are thick and uniform-feeling, with smooth curves and softened corners that keep the mass from feeling sharp. Many joins and terminals show small triangular notches and cut-ins (ink-trap-like details) that create a carved, stamped look and add rhythm to counters and junctions. The overall spacing reads compact and dense in text, with large bowls and relatively tight apertures that emphasize solidity and impact.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short phrases where its width and weight can drive emphasis. It also works well for branding marks, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a friendly, high-impact voice, including number-heavy applications like pricing or event dates.
The tone is bold and extroverted, with a playful retro flavor. Its chunky forms and carved cut-ins give it a poster-like energy—friendly rather than aggressive—suggesting a mix of mid-century display and contemporary logotype punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence while staying approachable, using rounded geometry and deliberate cut-ins to add character and improve shape separation in dense, heavy forms. It prioritizes display clarity and a distinctive texture over neutral text color.
The notched detailing is consistent across rounds and joins, producing recognizable texture at both headline size and in blocks of copy. Numerals share the same heavy, rounded mass and read as sturdy shapes, supporting attention-grabbing figures in layouts.
